and maybe We Found Love
Bounce pt. 2 will forever remain in the shadow of that masterpiece.
and maybe We Found Love
I take nothing away from her success with sales and charts.
The question is whether a week after its off the radio people will remember it. Which historically has not been the case. She has no "iconic" song imo.
When someone mentions Kelly Clarkson, Gaga, Xtina, etc usually they immediatly jump to a song like Since U Been Gone, Poker Face, or Beautiful......with Rihrih its whatever was last released.
Her Genericness is actually probably a key to her success. How do you tire of an artist whose songs you forget 5 minutes after listening to them?
Umbrella is definitely iconic. You can barely say the world 'umbrella' now without someone saying 'ella ella ey ey'.
nobody even read my review
I always think about Umbrella when I am heading out and its raining
Yeah I don't think any other pop girl could pull off Man Down or No Love Allowed or even What's My Name.
The SONG is iconic.....its barely associated with Rihanna though imo. She brings so little to the music that people barely connect the two sometimes.
Its fitting I suppose....both Rihanna and rain being associated with depression and disappointment after all.
Disagree. Rihanna definitely has a distinctive sound. Honestly I think it's because she's not a very powerful or accomplished singer, so she sings a lot of chant-like vocals in her songs. It really works for her though so no shade. It's the same thing Kylie has done incredibly successfully (fitting songs to her vocal ability) and it's one of the reasons why I think 'oh but this person is an amazing singer and that person isn't' isn't very good currency in pop music a lot of the time.

Diamonds is number one again...thank god Psy never made it to number one on the Hot 100.
But in all seriousness, I'm starting to think that the uniqueness in Rihanna's music stems from her island accent...whenever she displays it. Her unforgivably lazy imitation of Sia's every vocal tick in Diamonds makes me question just how much thought she puts into her delivery.
Eh with his sales he probably deserved at least one week. He never had enough airplay to pull it off though.... I am looking forward to the end of the craze.
Will be interesting to see if Diamonds can score another week at #1 after this one. Diamonds is sliding down itunes while her airplay is still rising.
Locked Out Of Heaven is next to be #1
poor Ke$ha
Yeah.
Also...I don't know what it is about those jumpsuit gifs....but they make me angry.
I edited to make you more angry
These 1D gifs
